Logos 6 is here!
Once again Logos has assembled an amazing application that brings biblical study to an entire new level of unparalleled intensity. Logos 6 does an excellent job of mixing classical study resources with interactive, digital resources.
Logos 6 is a must have application for ministers, teachers, students, and anyone who loves to immerse themselves in biblical studies.
I would have to agree with what John Piper says about Logos:
Let’s take a closer look at “what you can do with it.”
Logos 6
I love how Logos continues to stay relevant in our digital world. From the desktop, to your smartphone, rollin’ with Logos is always awesome. It’s the little things, they say, and every time I see the social media share icons while rockin’ in Logos 6, I smile. 🙂
By configuring Logos 6 to your personal taste—prayer lists, daily readings, Bible version preferences, etc—you’ll feel welcome opening Logos for your daily Bible study, sermon prep, or seminary study.
While these personal touches and keeping-up in our digital day in age is important, it’s Logos’ brute force of resources that really shines. If you’ve never used Logos and have always wanted to jump on it, now is the time. If you’re a current user but unsure if it’s worth the upgrade, let’s take a closer look:

Features and Screenshots
Screenshots are great, but if you’re like me, some video snippets of an app or service in action speaks volumes.
To give you an even clearer view of Logos’ latest and greatest, here are some tutorial videos and screencasts that will not only give you a good idea of how Logos works, but also how powerful it really is.
